Easier language for description of Waypoint: Passing Values to Functions with Arguments #5807
Conversation
Replaced existing sentence: "Functions can take input with parameters. Parameters are local variables that take on the value of the arguments which are passed into the function." With user suggested sentence: "Parameters are variables that act as placeholders for the values that are to be input to a function when it is called. When a function is defined, it is typically defined along with one or more parameters. The actual values that are input (or "passed") into a function when it is called are known as arguments."

It looks like the original first sentence is still there, making it pretty redundant? |

Damn sorry, I've removed the old line now. I went through it all a few times as I was figuring out the commit process. Didn't realise you couldn't use the browser editor so went and did it from scratch in c9.io and obviously missed a pretty crucial point. |

Please squash your commits. Otherwise this looks good. |

woah, I clearly did something wrong - maybe easiest to just reject this PR outright if that doesn't affect the other commits listed? Or if I just delete my whole repo, will that wipe all of this mess that I've made? I was trying to rebase and clean up the different branches I'd made while messing around in my own repo. Don't really understand how I've pulled in other peoples commits but I don't want to mess with them without knowing 100% what I'm doing is right. Very sorry for the mess around everyone! Edit: I've been tracing back my errors - I'm fairly sure this is because I attempted to address the fast-forward error when I missed the -f flag on the squashed push. So on the one hand I'm glad that these are all accepted commits already and I'm guessing I can't really affect them, on the other hand I'm feeling pretty noobish right now but I need to take it all as a learning experience. |

@krisgesling Been there, done that. Wrote the guide: Hope that will help! |
Replaced existing first sentence:
"Functions can take input with parameters. Parameters are local variables that take on the value of the arguments which are passed into the function."
With user suggested sentence:
"Parameters are variables that act as placeholders for the values that are to be input to a function when it is called. When a function is defined, it is typically defined along with one or more parameters. The actual values that are input (or "passed") into a function when it is called are known as arguments."
